20					Marshall Breeding will provide his view of the changing landscape of library technologies. Academic, research, and public libraries experience great changes in the nature of their collections and in the expectation of their clientele. Increased involvement in electronic content and decreased emphasis on print collections demand tools that break away from traditional library management models and address a broader view of library collections. Libraries likewise face new imperatives to deliver end user interfaces consistent with that experienced elsewhere on the Web and that provide access to the entire span of library collections including print, local digital collections, and subscribed collections of articles, databases and e-books. Many libraries find themselves involved with content areas outside of traditional collections, including needs to manage or archive scientific data sets, and to deliver new types of services in support of research, teaching, or other strategic activities of their parent organizations. Traditional automation tools increasingly fail to meet expectations in this context. Breeding will discuss some of the issues and challenges involved as new technologies emerge to address the changed realities of libraries today.

29		4.1	Arts 206	Aleph	Local enhancements for Aleph acquisitions module - University of Haifa Library - Yosef Branse, Database and Programming Coordinator, University of Haifa Library -- Moderator: Sharon Lenga, Berman MedLib, Hebrew Univ of Jerusalem
30					The University of Haifa Library has developed local applications that enhance the Aleph-based acquisitions process: 1) A payments system that generates payment orders for the University's financial office, based on data in current dealer invoices. In addition, the system includes modules for statistical summaries and viewing scanned images of the original invoices and 2) A mechanism for informing librarians and lecturers of the current status of acquisitions requests they have submitted. This includes a weekly distribution, via email, of notices regarding items whose processing status has recently changed, and a Web interface displaying the current status of all requests submitted by an individual. Both systems are in-house developments based on php and Linux shell scripts, interacting with Aleph's Oracle database.
31		4.2.1	Arts 322	Other	Shibboleth SSO - Charles University case study - Jiri Pavlik, System engineer, Charles University in Prague
32					At Charles University in Prague Ex Libris library systems MetaLib, SFX, Aleph, DigiTool are running in Shibboleth Single-Sign-On environment. University takes advantage from federated authentication at EBSCOhost, Elsevier Science Direct and Scopus, ISI Web Of Knowledge, Wilson Web, IEEE Xplore, Cambridge Journals, British Medical Journals, and Microsoft Dreamspark. All other University subscribed e-resources are hooked into Shibboleth SSO using EZproxy running as Shibboleth gateway. In the presentation Shibboleth middleware implementation details and the best practices tips will be shared.
33		4.2.2	Arts 322	Other	High Availability - Cloud Computing Goes Public - Habib Tabatabai, Director of Systems and Technical Services, University of Central Oklahoma, US
34					Libraries have a lot of stake in constant availability and presence online. Cloud computing to the rescue here! This presentation explores background, present landscape, and some solutions.
35					-- Moderator: Habib Tabatabai, University of Central Oklahoma
36		4.3.1	Arts 019	Rosetta	Rosetta in an Academic Library - Edward M. Corrado, Director of Library Technology, Binghamton University, US
37					This session will present about Binghamton University's (USA) experience implementing Rosetta. Rosetta, originally designed for national libraries, offers distinct challenges to a library with a small IT department and limited staff in others areas such as cataloging, special collections, and metadata. The presentation will include information about how Binghamton University implemented Rosetta, where they are now, and future plans. Session attendees will learn about what is involved with implementing the Rosetta digital preservation system in an University environment.
38		4.3.2	Arts 019	Rosetta	Rosetta and Data Curation in the context of research: first insights - Andreas Kirstein, Head of Media and IT Services, Vice Director, ETH-Bibliothek Zürich
39					The ETH-Bibliothek (library of the ETH Zurich) is ready to implement the Rosetta software system of ExLibris which is expected to fulfill the more well known requirements of the data curation of digitized library resources as well as for the ETH Archive Materials. On the other hand there is need for further development and enhancement of Rosetta in collaboration with ExLibris so that it fulfills the less known requirements of a data curation system for research data (so-called primary data). This presentation will discuss the following questions: 1) What are the needs of ETH-Researchers, when it comes to long term data preservation?; 2) Which data systems are in use today in ETH’s research community and which interfaces to Rosetta are reasonable?; 3) How should workflows from data production in research into the Rosetta system look like?; 4) Will there be many new formats to manage, when it comes to research data or will we agree on standards there too? and finally 5) What are the steps done in our project so far and what is the plan for the project at ETH Zurich?

41		4.4.1	Arts 209	SFX	E-media Workflows with SFX and Verde - or how to catch the user - Andreas Sabisch, Vice Manager IT, Freie Universität Berlin
42				Verde	In this session I describe the workflows for e-media with SFX/Metalib and VERDE at the Free University Berlin. Based on the source statistic I analyse the usage of our e-media via the OpenURL in all our web interfaces - websites, Aleph OPAC, consortial OPAC, Primo, Primo Central, MetaLib, databases, Google. This analysis explains why it is necessary to have highly precise holding data in SFX and MetaLib. As well, this analysis describes the outdated understanding of 'traditional librarians' about the importance of the traditional cataloguing for e-media.
43		4.4.2	Arts 209	SFX	A Simple Solution for Displaying License Terms With SFX and Mondo - Dana Thomas, Scholars Portal Evaluation and Assessment Librarian, Ontario Council of University Libraries ; Amy Greenberg, Scholars Portal User Support Librarian, Ontario Council of University Libraries
44					Not all institutions can, or wish to, purchase ERM systems designed for managing and displaying license information for electronic resources. When the Ontario University Libraries expressed a need to display appropriate terms to faculty members, staff, and students, the Scholars Portal Operations Team responded with a simple and fast solution. The University of British Columbia's open source license system, Mondo, was implemented for all Ontario University libraries, and an SFX notes field utilized to display license terms at the journal and article levels.

46		4.5.1	Arts 207	Primo	Using Primo to discover e-research repositories - Susan Lafferty, Director, Digital Library Services, University of New South Wales Co-presenters: Tom Ruthven, Sue Harmer
47					UNSW has utilised the features of Primo to meet the search and discovery requirements of eResearch infrastructure. This includes fedora-based repositories and wikis. This presentation summarises and describes the major in-house customisations. Among them are: the implementation of file splitter to capture information from Fedora attachments such as full text and file size/name and to capture data from wikis as well as the establishment of a single PID to link Primo, Handle and Fedora PIDs.
48		4.5.2	Arts 207	Primo	Presenting research data in Primo - Christian Haenger, Head of Library IT, Mannheim University Library
49					Modern researchers often have to face the difficulty that, in their field of interest, metadata of articles and books and the referenced research data are held in separate databases. This means they first have to search the library catalogue to find a book about the legitimization of the democratic system in the Federal Republic of Germany and afterwards another database containing research data to find a survey of the political ideology in the Federal Republic of Germany in 1974. This process is very time wasting and needs to be improved. Mannheim University Library and the German data center GESIS would like to implement the integration of research data and bibliographic metadata – a project that is financed by the German Research Foundation DFG. The most important tool utilized by the project is Primo. One possible solution is loading metadata of the research data, which appear as references in articles and books, into Primo. Another approach might be the enrichment of articles and books in Primo by adding a link to retrieve the research data in the database of GESIS. The advantages and disadvantages of both solutions with be shown and discussed.

93		9.1	Arts 207	Other	Linked Data and Ex Libris tools - Lukas Koster, Library Systems Coordinator, Library of the University of Amsterdam co-presenters: -Silke Schomburg, Director, HBZ Consortium, Cologne, Germany -Corey Harper, Metadata Services Librarian, New York University Libraries -Ulrike Krabo, Developer, Austrian Library Network (OBVSG) -Axel Kaschte, Strategy Director Europe, Ex Libris -- Moderator: Lukas Koster
94					Linked Data is a concept that is rapidly becoming more important in the library world. The idea is to connect information from library catalogues and databases with relevant information of all kinds, from other sources, like museums, archives, scholarly research, government agencies, etc. This session focuses on the options of implementing Linked Data with Ex Libris products. After a short introduction of the Linked Data concept and techniques we will briefly present four projects, two involving publishing Library Linked Data (HBZ, Germany - Aleph; New York University, USA - Primo) and two using external Linked Data (OBVSG, Austria - Primo; University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands - Aleph) with existing Ex Libris products. We will try to identify options for enhancing individual Ex Libris Products with Linked Data support features and will also look at the role that the Open Platform Strategy and EL Commons (CodeShare and Wiki) can play. Ex Libris is given the opportunity to react and express their views regarding Linked Data and their product development. Although in this session projects with Aleph and Primo are highlighted, the subject is also of interest for other products: SFX, MetaLib, Voyager, DigiTool, Rosetta, and not in the least for URM/Alma developments.
95		9.2.1	Arts 322	SFX	Innovative Use of SFX and Legacy Data to Create an E-Resources Quick Search Tool - Fengzhi Fan, Systems Librarian, UMDNJ-RWJ Library of the Health Sciences co-presenter: Yingting Zhang, Information & Education Librarian
96					The library has been utilizing SFX as its OpenURL link resolver since 2005. Given the fact that SFX has the complete data of our ejournals, the library staff decided to take full advantage of such data as well as the legacy data to create a tool with multiple searching capabilities by using a few open source programs. This presentation is to showcase the multi-capable searching feature designed for optimum retrieval of the library’s e-resources. Since its implantation, this in-house developed tool with low cost has been heavily used by the faculty, students and staff according to the usage statistics. It has also boosted the visits to the library’s website.
97		9.2.2	Arts 322	SFX	Adding domain names of new resources to university proxy server - Yosef Branse, Database and Programming Coordinator, University of Haifa Library
98					For users accessing the University of Haifa Library's electronic resources from outside the campus network, the connection to specific websites (including ejournal vendors) is controlled by the proxy maintained by the University's Computing Division. This proxy must be periodically updated to include the domains of resources that have been added to our offerings. In the past, updates were sent individually, as the need arose, in the form of e-mail from Library staffers to the proxy manager. As this was not always done efficiently, occasionally we had problems of users not being able to access a resource simply because it had not yet been recorded in the proxy, resulting in hurried efforts to rectify the situation. Our solution is to periodically run a script that prepares a unified list of domain names, drawn from three sources: - Aleph catalog: extracted from fields with '856' tags in records for e-journals and e-texts - SFX: extracted from URLs of target resources - Online databases: extracted from list maintained manually by one of the reference librarians The list is compared against a cumulative file of all domains, and the list of differences is sent to the proxy manager. Since adopting this solution, over three years ago, we have had very few problems of resources being inaccessible due to not being recognized by the proxy.

100		9.3	Arts 206	Aleph	Put it Away with a Barcode, or Barcode Locations in Aleph - Billy Rawles, Senior Engineer, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Church History Library, US -- Moderator: Laura Morse, Harvard University
101					Aleph assigns a barcode to each of its items. Our institution has storage facilities where all locations, shelves, drawers, and even boxes and bins have assigned barcodes. We wanted to use these barcodes to assign locations to the items when we put the items away. We can take advantage of these barcodes for audit purposes. We decided to manage locations as items in Aleph and to assign locations to items using the barcode with a developed JAVA application that uses the Ex Libris API. We assign the barcode of the location and the description of the location to the item. We control the modification of items that have locations assigned and audit the storage facility and stored items.
102		9.4.1	Arts 209	Primo	The use of Primo at K.U.Leuven - Veerle Kerstens, Project Manager, K.U.Leuven co-presenter: Mehmet Celik, Senior Business Consultant
103					K.U.Leuven went live with Primo 3.02 in Spring 2011. Our Primo installation – that we gave the name LIMO - gives access to the library catalogue, the institutional research repository and Primo Central, via one blended scope. In this presentation we want to focus on how LIMO is being used by our staff and students. How do they search the system, and what are their reactions to LIMO. Further, the results of a usability study will be discussed.
104		9.4.2	Arts 209	Primo	Testing the new Library Portal \| Primo (Free University Berlin) – A combined approach of expert and user evaluation for assessing its usability - Andreas Sabisch, Vice Manager IT, Freie Universität Berlin (presenter) Heike Lennard, Librarian, Social Sciences Library; Melanie Surkau, Library Trainee, University Library (authors of paper)
105					In November 2010, a new Library Portal based on Primo by ExLibris, was introduced at the Free University Berlin. Having been implemented as a Beta version in a “soft launch”, it momentarily coexists with the Aleph catalogue and the MetaLib, but is meant to replace these systems before the end of 2011. The usability testing conducted by the authors is thus meant to be the basis for improving the usability of the relaunch-version of the portal. In order to identify different kinds of usability problems, a combined approach was used: Expert testing on the basis of a heuristic developed by the Chur Evaluation Laboratory as well as 20 user tests, applying the “Thinking Aloud” method. The presentation will discuss briefly the question of methodology, before presenting the major findings and recommendations for improving the Library Portal \| Primo´s usability.

107		9.5.1	Arts 019	Aleph	How to teach cataloging through Aleph - Dr. Shahaf Hagafny, Library director and lecturer, Gordon College (Haifa) and University of Haifa
108					As a teacher of cataloging, classification and indexing courses in 4 academic institutions of Librarianship in Israel I'm aware to the enormous changes we meet all the time in the Information World. Therefore I'm trying to program new curricula to those courses, especially in Cataloging and Metadata. The presentation will show how to do it step by steb. the tools are Aleph version 20 and Primo.
109		9.5.2	Arts 019	Aleph	Spatial Search in Map Collection - David Tal, Student, Masters Degree, Tel-Aviv University
110					Tel-Aviv University map library Integrated a Google Map based user interface to the Aleph catalog. Lexical search should be combined with spatial search when retrieving geographic objects like maps. The new application enables students and researchers to initiate spatial search queries in the library vast map collection. This application uses standard features of the Aleph catalog to combine lexical and geographic search in order to return the most relevant results in a user friendly interface. No changes need to be made in the Aleph catalog, the interface is based on a free Google maps web platform, the application shows the search results maps in both map view and standard Aleph view. Further development of the application includes spatial ranking of the maps that was returned as a result.

115		10.1	Arts 207	Other	Putting the "M"[ore] in Mango - V.2 - Michele Newberry, Assistant Director for Library Services, Florida Center for Library Automation, US
116					FCLA has been continuing to enhance its locally-developed Discovery Layer, Mango. The More in this presentation includes the integration into Mango of a Solr/Lucene search engine to replace the original one, Endeca. In addition, Aleph Course Reserves, Booking and ILL have been integrated to expand patron services. Aleph ILL underlies a new unmediated borrowing service called UBorrow that has just be launched for the state university libraries. Finally, utilizing its API, the Primo Central Index has been integrated to provide blended search results with the existing records from the universities' Aleph, Digitool and other repositories. Demos of all these features will be provided.
117		10.2	Arts 206	Aleph	How Triggers and the Z13 Enabled Us to Rule Our World OR Custom Sorting of Items in Aleph - David Benge, Engineer, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Church History Library, US --Moderator: Marcus Zerbst, Zentralbibliothek Zurich
118					We need to sort items differently than any of the options available in Aleph because we often have BIBs with a large number of items and multiple holdings. It is critical for us to choose the right item in the list for requests. We can’t use Aleph’s default for "like items" because we are not dealing with equivalent items. The item sort needed to be based on material type and sub-library as well as collection and item status. The Solution: create a sort key on an item field that Aleph can use with one of its sort routines.
119		10.3	Arts 322	SFX	Beyond SFX Collection Analysis: Developing a Serials Collection Tool with SFX - Dana Thomas, Scholars Portal Evaluation and Assessment Librarian, Ontario Council of University Libraries -- Moderator: Jiri Pavlik, Charles University, Prague
120					The Ontario Council of University Libraries consortium has long needed a tool to use for collection development, journal deselection and overlap identification. In this session, you will learn how the Scholars Portal Operations Team created an in-house system using SFX and other tools to build our Serials Collection Overlap Tool (SCOT). SCOT enables members to identify full text or citation overlap, unique content, and to gather other useful information about their serials collections. The session will include a live demonstration and plenty of time for questions and answers. The SFX collection tool is excellent, but is limited to comparing full text journal resources. We wanted to compare full text and citation coverage, and wanted to be able to make comparisons across institutions, so we worked with Ex Libris' idea and built our own tool so that we could accomplish the additional tasks we needed to accomplish.
121		10.4.1	Arts 209	Primo	Rethinking discovery – potential, pain points and pragmatism - Brian Flaherty, Associate University Librarian (Digital Services), The University of Auckland
122					The University of Auckland Library has been in production with Primo 3 and Primo Central for several months. The roll-out coincided with a redesign of the top-level of the Library website – a “perfect storm” for the Library staff and users. This presentation reviews the decisions around interface (application, website and mobile), the difficulties of metadata (normalising, FRBRising and customising) the issues of socialising (training, promotion and persuasion) and the ongoing pain-points of multiple knowledge-bases, complex work-flows and lack of granular control.
123		10.4.2	Arts 209	Primo	Staff vs Public data (views) in Primo - Beck Locey, Senior Business Analyst; Theresa Judkins, Software Engineer; Shelley Neville, Product Manager; Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Church History Library, US
124					We have various levels of sensitive/confidential data in our collections. All records are available to staff. Many records are available to the public, but certain tags have been suppressed in the public view. Only authenticated staff can access sensitive data. Our entire collection is in Primo, and we configured Primo to enforce this policy. We used out of of the box Primo functionality including multiple institutions, restricted search scopes, PDS/LDAP authentication, groups and multiple views.

126		10.5.1	Arts 010	Voyager	Acquisitions Goes Institutional: OASIS Voyager Integration - Peter Price, Library Systems Manager, University of Plymouth
127					The University of Plymouth library is working towards seamless and efficient order and receipting processes. In the past, the acquisitions team placed orders on Voyager on behalf of the subject librarians. Over the last year, we have moved to a more automated system where the subject librarians place orders directly on to the supplier’s interface, OASIS. A case study with our subject librarians is proposed. This will focus on how direct order placement onto OASIS has impacted on their working practices. Looking to the future, the library is investigating further streamlining in this area. One area being considered is the linking of the acquisition process into the university e-procurement system, Agresso, thus dispensing with a separate acquisition module. Work has recently begun on working with the UoP Finance Department on using EDI to input invoices directly into Agresso.
128		10.5.2	Arts 010	Voyager	Simplifying patron requests - John Greer, Head, Technology and Systems Services, University of Montana
129					The University of Montana Libraries' goal was to make the process of requesting material from the OPAC as easy as possible. This meant that we didn't want the user to have to decide between placing a hold or placing a call slip to request any item that was desired. One choice- one result was the goal. This presentation will show how the library setup the voyager on-shelf holds feature to be used as a request mechanism for branch to branch material requests, on-shelf requests, in library requests and others. I will show the reports that are used to pull items from the shelves, go over the circulation process, show how each branch responds, and cover the pros and cons of serving your patrons in this manner.

159		13.4.1	Arts 209	Aleph	How to synchronise two ALEPH servers - Bernd Luchner, Library System Coordinator, University Library Basel
160					How to keep two ALEPH servers sychronised in terms of configuration, permissions and SP level with a single command line. At University Library of Basel we run 3 ALEPH servers for the consortia IDS Basel Bern: one for production, one for test and one for training. We use the gnu utility rsync to keep the training server in line with the production server. We thus reduce the ALEPH-maintenance of the training server to zero.
161		13.4.2	Arts 209	Aleph	Report it All, or Any Question, all the Answers - Billy Rawles, Senior Engineer, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Church History Library, US
162					How do you answer all the questions your users have? How do you make data available to your users? We use Oracle Business Objects, a reporting application used throughout the corporation. This gave us the ability to relate Aleph data to other corporate data. We discuss the use of Oracle Business Objects and how it was implemented with Aleph data. We will show how reports can be built and distributed as well as show the use of Dashboards to display live current information.

174					Wrapping up the conference, Professor Sheizaf Rafaeli (Director of the Sagy Center for Internet Research, and Head of the Graduate School of Management (Business Administration) at the University of Haifa) will present a talk on Reading, Writing, and Making a Living: the changing business models of publishing. Prof. Rafaeli will be exploring what the economy of publishing, libraries, reading and writing will look like in the future, as the rise of electronic publishing changes the nature of access, search, delivery, and distribution. The talk will attempt to sketch the parameters of the problem and raise the questions. Does technology play the role of the villain? Will it possibly provide answers? Is the net a trap for culture looking into the future, or its panacea?

190	IGeLU	IGeLU A – Z Peter Klien, Press Officer and Team Leader Aleph Systems Librarians, The Austrian Library Network (OBVSG)
191		A short overview of IGeLU's organisation and work for everyone who wondered what goes on all year between conferences.
192	IGELU	Exercises in democracy: uncovering the mysteries of IGeLU elections Peter Klien, Press Officer and Team Leader Aleph Systems Librarians, The Austrian Library Network (OBVSG)
193		A poster to help people understand who has to be elected when (Chair, SC, PWG coordinators etc.), how elections are organised, how people can cast their ballots and what lies behind the legendary "proxy votes".
194	IGELU	Get on our NERS! Marcus Zerbst, Zentralbibliothek Zürich; Lukas Koster, Library Systems Coordinator, Library of the University of Amsterdam; IGeLU Steering Committee; Mark Dehmlow, Head, Library Web Department, Notre Dame University
195		Uncovering the mysteries of the New Enhancement Request System (NERS) developed by IGeLU and ELUNA. NERS works for both software and knowledge base enhancement requests and manages all authentication and authorisation needs. It includes sophisticated voting procedures - aligned with each product's specifics, reporting features, import, export, extensions and much more.
196	Aleph	Streamlining the Retro-Conversion of the Card Catalog - Riny Goldsmith, Head of Foreign Language Cataloging, and Esther Guggenheim, Bibliographic Systems Librarian, National Library of Israel
197		The National Library of Israel has been using Aleph (version 1 !) since 1983. Since 1985 all current cataloging has been entered in to the Aleph catalog. Over the years, various parts of the card catalog were converted, particularly most of the library's core areas of Judaica, Hebraica, Israeliana and Near Eastern studies. This left some 350,000 Latin character and 19,000 Cyrillic character cards, 3,800 UN publication cards and 41,000 music cards. In 2010 it was decided to finish the retro-conversion of all remaining cards with partial outsourcing. The project includes the library's IT, foreign language cataloging and other departments. The Latin character, UN and music cards were scanned by a team from Backstage Library Works at the library. The library used the images to create a virtual card catalog accessible through the internet. The Cyrillic cards and leftover Judaica are processed at the library. The scanned images are processed by BSLW and the records are sent to the library in 7-8 deliveries of 20,000 to 100,000 records. Each batch is analyzed, local fields are added, other fields are dropped or tweaked, including links to the virtual catalog, before upload. The records are then refined by library staff according to notes added by the scanning teams and based on tests developed in the library. Holdings are added globally after upload to Aleph and/or manually during processing. This poster will present the programs developed at the library, use of Aleph and custom services to integrate the records in the library catalog. We will also discuss manual processing of each batch and processing left to do after completion of all conversion projects in the library, as well as conclusions learned from the project.
198	Other	Single API for library services - Milan Janíček, SFX Administrator, National Technical Library, Czech Republic
199		The poster describes a service providing a single, simplified API for different library systems (Aleph, SFX, cover images). Data are available in very simple formats (JSON, plain text, HTML) and can be accessed and used in different ways by different types of applications. One such application, written in JavaScript, which combines data from bibilographic records with SFX menu services, subject headings and holdings, is also described.
200	Aleph	Upgrading the Israel Union Catalog using Aleph and VUFind - Elhanan Adler, Coordinator; Tulie Amichal, Information Systems Analyst, The Israeli Academic Libraries Network, MALMAD
201		The Union List of Israeli Libraries (ULI), started in 1997, and operated by the Israeli academic MALMAD Consortium, is a collection of bibliographic records from all member libraries (53 primarily academic and research libraries). It is built and automatically updated from records harvested from their catalogs (Aleph sequential or MARC-xml formats). The ULI database currently consists of some 9.4m undeduped records. While maintaining the separate records of each library is convenient for updating and copy cataloging, it resulted in an unwieldy search experience for public use. During 2010-11 we have upgraded the ULI by providing a new discovery layer based on the open-source VuFind system, and deduping/merging the records as part of the export procedure from Aleph to VuFind. The presentation will describe the processes we went through and the logic implemented for merging records brought from various institutions to provide an improved, unified search experience for the users.
202	Voyager	Inter Library Loan (or at least CLIO) – why bother, it only causes problems - Peter Price, Library Systems Manager, University of Plymouth
203		The University of Plymouth is one of the top five UK academic customers, by use, of the British Library, spending over £70,000 a year (around 8.5% of our non-subscription materials spend). This means that we are very dependent on a reliable and efficient document delivery / ILL system. CLIO may not be that. With over 10,000 individual requests in an academic year, we are looking for systems that allow integration with Ex Libris systems and that of the British Library. We are also “unmediated” and are looking for ways to ensure that requests and full-text articles do not require staff intervention. There was an expectation that the latest version of CLIO (6.3) would allow the British Library to send documents directly to the customers. And so we undertook the upgrade – which did not go well – only to find that it would not work. One of the benefits of spending so much money with the British Library is that we have been invited to work with them on reviewing and possibly testing their new and varied methods to support document delivery (including directly by and to citizens), and ILL. Some of the options UoP might consider are: direct web-based ordering at the British Library web-site (using the British Library’s Primo), or Faculty and research group specific accounts with the ability to limit requests and expenditure by groups without day to day staff involvement. Alternatively, we could stay with the current arrangement using CLIO; this is not, however, a preferred option.
204	Verde	One source - Supplier management and Verde - Peter Price, Library Systems Manager, University of Plymouth (for Vicki Maguire, Resource Description Manager)
205		Following our preferred approach at the University of Plymouth as soon as we purchased Verde we reviewed the system and sought how we could push the limitations within our environment. This included reviewing local business practices to better employ what the systems can support which highlighted areas where we can, and need, to make full use of systems. Using Verde in-house for resource management has always been our focus but for managing suppliers? Dialogue between ourselves and suppliers has been facilitated by data that we have pulled from Verde but we needed to go further. Where we obtain material via a subscription agent they know what we have access to, or so we thought! Despite the ‘oh, no other Verde customer has asked us for this’ quote we have and need the data. The process raised several issues including differences between supplier, publisher and Verde naming conventions which then impacted on data upload and resources required for manual intervention. Verde has it limitations, e.g., a whole missing area is contract management, but our intention is to use the system to its full capacity helping to push cultural change both internally and externally.
206	Other	A wall or doorway? - Training needs in the 21st century - Peter Price, Library Systems Manager, University of Plymouth (for Vicki Maguire, Resource Description Manager)
207		New systems, changed systems, more training – not again! Perception versus reality – are we always asking staff to update their skills? Does the way we deliver training impact on the ability of staff to take ownership of their own development? Here at the University of Plymouth we are reviewing the differing approaches to training aiming for a ‘self help’ and ‘self directed approach’. This includes use of the Learning Centre combined with a training styles skills analysis in order to empower staff to monitor own competency level.
